Across Eugene, Springfield, and Junction City, the dry air and clear skies will allow rapid cooling late tonight.

Clouds begin increasing Thursday, and a slight chance of showers develops after late morning. Roads could become slick during the first rainfall after several dry days. Light rain chances continue into Friday, with occasional breaks of sunshine.
Looking ahead, a more unsettled pattern may linger into the weekend with additional rain chances and cooler highs near 60°F.
